A sign up Spring Road asks you to Kill Your Speed as you approach the Old Cemetery.

This evening at the Guildhall George Haslam’s big band Swing Time were playing music from the fifties to help raise money for the Abingdon Arts Festival.
Next Saturday, the Cross Keys are going Back to the Eighties.
Alongside, one football fixture from 2011 would look very strange to anybody from the fifties or eighties… Manchester United V Crawley Town in the 5th round of the FA Cup.

The Ock Valley Flood Group had a public meeting at Preston Road Community Centre this evening. (This picture shows the committee.)
Work groups of the flood group have been clearing flood channels, and together with the EA (Environment Agency) and local councils are trying to reduce the effect of future floods.
